Public Health Ministry's Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine

There`s the problem.

A "department" that recommends buffalo poop as cure for stomach ache is the exact reason why you got so many people in Thailand believing holy basil and all kinds of nonsense is going to cure anything to begin with. The best cure this department can do is shutting down. The effect that will have on Thailand will be so revolutionary that it`s on the same scale as Thailand`s introduction to antibiotics. It`s a childish woowoo department with zero reasons to exist. 

I haven't played the sequel yet but the first game was actually pretty good. While horror games and movies doesn't scare me, it's fun scaring my family ????

Thailand praised for banning electronic cigarettes...

Banned... but sold everywhere lol

Funny seeing how all gov't projects progress in this country. They always begin with expressing their thoughts in media and after some internal discussions it always ends up in the same bowl of <deleted>.

It's been exactly the same for as long as I've been here. No difference between the one's in charge in this country whatsoever. 

In fact, it's not just exactly the same, it's same, same, a Thai phenomenon.

That does not look anything like a human face lol

https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/world-best-food-dishes/index.html

Chocolate, ice cream, corn, donuts, lobster, croissant, syrup, ketchup, marzipan, potato chips, popcorn... lol

None of these are food dishes. There's even more on that list that is questionable. It's like CNN had to fill the list with more nonsense just so they could justify having something on the list with the American flag. 

Trams in Thailand lol.

Perhaps in BKK, Pattaya and Phuket at best, but not in any other cities where everything is randomly scattered around. People live and shop all over the place. Nothing is organized in Thailand so no one goes from specific areas, say living areas to shopping area. No one is going to sit in these things for decades while they go through hundreds of hoops and sois to collect people. They might be inspired by European cities, but they're delusional if they think Thailand can compare.

I'm sure tourists will be overjoyed to look at the endless lines of dilapidated Chinese cargo ships passing by the beaches everyday. These totally environmentally friendly Chinese cargo ships is exactly what is needed to restore the sea life farangs has destroyed. What a brilliant idea, just like the implementation of ฿100,000 fines for smoking at the beaches. Super idea. It will take Thailand from 4.0 all the way to 11, no questions asked.

Xi Jinpi... I mean, Prayut Chan-O-Cha's 50 Cent Army.

On marriage visa.

My visa expired in May. I went to immigration 24th August and asked if I needed any stamp or anything before going to the Embassy. I was told no, that everything was ok, but they told me I had to hurry up and needed to come back before the month ended (before August 31.). I took an airplane to BKK actually the same day and got the stamp the next day. Then I went to the Amphur to get a copy of the marriage papers before getting an airplane back. All in just 1 day. Did the process at the immigration the next morning. Now waiting for the final process to finish the 16th this month (in 3 days).

From what I understand it was lucky I went when I did and not dragged it on until this month as it would be too late.

Funny how this even is news. More than 150 people gets nominated every year (Each member of the parliament is free to choose one). Next to every country in the world has a few Trump supporters among the members of their government. No shocker. He's been nominated every year (to my knowledge) since he became President. Trump got 1 (one) nomination this year, not even two, and we're not even into the voting part yet, that isn't done by the parliament, but an independent organisation, the Nobel Peace Price committee.

The MG is certainly in the mix if a bit small (we need the 3rd row on occasion). It would be perfect for my daily commute (50k each way, highway speeds not a lot of traffic).

 

Ah I see, the ZS EV would be too small. In size its somewhere in between Fortuner and Juke.

OMG, that's a step to far!! 

5555 Yeah they think so too, that's why they need to discuss this for several more weeks ????

Word has it chickens are celebrating with wine and cookies.

Beirut = 2,750,000 kg ammonium nitrate.

Oklahoma = 2,200 kg ammonium nitrate.

Oslo = 950 kg ammonium nitrate.

New Dehli = A briefcase with ammonium nitrate.

Videos of the aftermaths...

2020, Beirut, 150+ dead, 5000+ injured, thousands+ buildings damaged (over half the city, 20 sq.km+).

1995, Oklahoma, 168 dead, 680 injured, 258 buildings damaged.

2011, Oslo (few people were working due to vacation), 8 dead, 200-300 injured, buildings within 400 meters were significantly damaged.

2011, New Dehli (briefcase placed outside high court building), 15 dead, 79 injured, few buildings were damaged.

Clearly it should be taken seriously. Handing out 48-hour-ultimatums is just ridiculous. How about some proper reports and spreading the amount of ammonium nitrate (and other highly explosive materials) between storage locations and outside of populated areas?

"the fatality was a 26-year old student"

 

Yet we keep hearing only old people have to be concerned.

No we don't. People with underlying illnesses are at the highest risk, meaning the older and fatter you get the more likely you are to have underlying illnesses. Statistically that's just a fact, but it has never meant younger and slim people aren't at risk, most people have known this for months already, its literally in the news on a daily basis. Not even healthy people are risk free, but statistically you're at much lower risk of becoming seriously ill.

However, the statistics of anyone contracting Covid and getting permanent damage (lungs, brain etc) is a lot higher than most people are aware of, even among asymptomatics. Mild permanent brain damage could even be a common result of Covid scientists says, as we know Covid affects the brain (smell, taste, vision, nervous system, seizure, stroke, fever, tiredness, headache, loss of speech, loss of movement etc). How severe and what it means in the long run is being studied, and will take years, perhaps even decades, of observation and testing.

But, the healthier you are, the less likely you are to be become seriously ill.

Reading this while on the train lol ????
